Million Dollar Challenge, no one to date Options

Hello.
Recently I heard about The Million Dollar Challenge made by James Randi Educational Foundation. The Foundation promisses to give one million dollars to a person, who could demonsttrate any kind of paranormal/occult power under their observing conditions. There are so many people pacticing magic, and so many occult societies that you woudn't want their leaders to seem without any powers. But why nobody ever claimed those damned million dollars? Your opinions? Have you ever heard about this challenge before?

Acid, I think you nailed the point better as exactly as one possibily can. Besides let's consider the fact that the amazing Randi really isn't anyone that would be worthy of a demonstration for demonstration sake. Just look at the guy, do you really want one million of his dollars? I sure as hell don't, it's one thing to sell out, but anothe rthing to sell out for that tub. Selling out to Randi's challenge is the kind of publicity magic doesn't need, it needs someone with a pure heart and purpose, true royalty who would look with a sort of contempt upon something as primitive as this. In other words don't be a pimped by Randi.

As for his million dollar challenge if you pm MR Merlin he would be able to tell you more .According to him he and numerous of his acquaintances who are all bonafide and well tuned psychics have attempted to cash in over the years. The result, an endless stream of paperwork, paperwork that you may very well have to pay for. In other words he'll give you a million after you pay him 1,000 dollars in paper work fees that will go on endlessly.
